[JayC2]

ok if you remember ive bee on propecia 9 months, regaine and nizoral/t-gel 2months exactly

first pictures are from two months ago which i put up, then theres todays.....?
I have no idea what to think, positive / negative?, still shedding but less than before

 

[MrBastard]

Congrats, you def filled that crown with lots of hair

Is it just me or are your hair extremely dry and brittle? Ever tryed a conditioner?

 

[BodyDysmorphic]

hair looking better man

congrats

 

[JayC2]

yea ok sorry, it is obvious, but its so confusing when i have this male pattern baldness sometimes and have shedding, this has reduced from the tragedy of 200 hairs in the shower, thanks for the compliments, also thanks to keepthe hair if he's still on here, i nearly whipped it all off and got a peice if it wasnt for his incouraging posts.
yea it is brittle because i then style it with product and it styles better with no conditioner, is it bad for hair loss having brittle hair?
Ok so i use the big three, whats all this other stuff people are on about at the minute? there seems to be loads, any of it any good?

I'm not sure if that is male pattern baldness. It looks more like telogen effluvium.

 

[shuji123]

hey, hair looks great mate.
do you use rogaine twice a day? and do you use rogaine liquid or foam?

 

[JayC2]

it is male pattern baldness as my dad is 100% bald and my grandad was, that huge strip was due to using regaine, it was not like that when i started using it,it was just really thing and shedding, my temples are a Norwood 2.

yea twice a day every day, morning and night

 

[JayC2]

cheers shuji, i use 5% regaine, 8am and 8pm, as it makes me hair wet i blow dry it for 5 seconds to make it dry again, propecia 8am every morning, combination of nizoral t-gel and johnsons baby (haha) bear in mind people that picture which is worst is after 2 weeks of regaine, used to have 200 hairs in shower, last few days just getting a couple, shedded throughout. bit worried now though cos run out of propecia and cant get to chemist till monday!!! F**k!!

 

[kthxbi]

looks so so so much better man, keep at it and congrats

This belongs in the success stories- forum Congratulations!

Minoxidil apparently worked like a charm, the pictures are pretty clear about that.

This will probably inspire more people to STICK TO THE BIG 3!!!

(btw: try olive oil conditioner from body shop; and cut down on nizoral usage- maybe 2 times a week instead of 3- if your hair gets dry.)

 

[JayC2]

yea it feels good, after the horrible last few months...dont wana go bald...not just yet...im hoping my temples will stop going back now there pretty much a NW2, reading the storys i seem to think NW2 is unavoidable?? any comments?
you definately need to be strong and positive and STICK to a regime, religously propecia from doctor everyday, regaine 5% twice a day, nizoral im not that religous with and will mix shampoos up....but the main ones are propecia and regaine.

 

[JayC2]

err...Im still shedding, 50 hairs in the shower everyday...is this normal

 

[Brains Expel Hair]

50 in the shower seems a bit excessive. That's about what mine was at before I got things under control and down to about 5-10ish that only come off during shampoo lathering.

 

[JayC2]

...can anyone give advise,hair hasnt changed really from my last pics. but i constantly have the burn and itch, i cant even sleep at night sometimes its that bad. I use nizoral and tea tree conditioner. also Ive been shedding for 3 months now....has anyone had similar experiences with some degree of success....

Thanks - John

 

[JayC2]
